E-Waste, shredding day at Godfrey

GODFREY — Residents will have a chance to get rid of unwanted electronic devices, as well as shred old documents during an E-Waste Drive and Shred-it Day set for Saturday, Sept. 9 at Godfrey Village Hall.

E-waste will be collected from 9 a.m. to noon and documents will be shredded from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Illinois law prohibits landfill disposal of electronic devices, including televisions and computers. CJD e-Cycling will take most items for free, providing community members with a secure, Earth-friendly option for discarding used electronics.

However, there will be a fee of $5 to $30 to recycle CRT, projection, plasma and console televisions. Participants may also bring in only one CRT monitor per tower, or pay a fee of $5 to $30 per CRT monitor.
